Chapter 38: There is a summons
Soon after the hunting activities in Zhongyue Mountain ended and the group returned to Los Angeles, the preparations for Zhou Tianzi's birthday banquet were basically completed.
Although a little change has happened in Nakagake Mountain. But after the calm and calm of this return journey, everyone who knew the inside story left this matter behind. Since the son of King Chulie of Zhao is such a cowardly person, no one cares about him anymore.
Of course, Nangong, who did not give up his murderous intentions, did not think so. Whoever he wants to kill, must die! Don't say that Chu Jiangmian swallowed his anger and wanted to calm things down, even if he knelt down and begged for mercy. He will never let him go.
There were dozens of casualties among the Great Wei Jiashi, their blood could not be shed in vain, and the blood debt was paid in blood, and this account must be repaid with Chu Jiangmian's life. Although he didn't find a suitable opportunity on the way, let him die in Los Angeles! For this reason, he had already ordered to send people to closely monitor Chu Jiangmian's every move. As soon as there is an opportunity, report it immediately. Although Father Shen knew what he had done, he had repeatedly dissuaded him from continuing to expand. But where can Nangong listen!
However, what annoyed him was that after returning to Los Angeles, Chu Jiangmian and the few people around him disappeared. Later, after inquiry, I figured out that they had all moved to the mansion of the king's brother Zimmer.
"Why is Zimmer so protective of him? Hum! How unreasonable! ”
Nangong hated it, but there was no way to think about it. No matter how rampant he is, he can't openly rush into it and kill people. I had to order my subordinates to pay attention at all times and not relax.
And with the arrival of the birthday of the Son of Heaven, the vigilance inside and outside Los Angeles has finally become tighter. The only military force possessed by the Zhou royal family, that is, nearly 8,000 Praetorian Guards, was fully mobilized, arranged in various important places, and began to patrol day and night.
A series of celebrations ensued. Brother Wang Ji Mo is also more busy, and he basically has no time to return to the mansion these days. Chu Jiangmian, who was arranged to live in a remote courtyard here, felt a little bored.
Originally, he wanted to refuse Zimmer's arrangement. But the reason given by this brother Wang made him unable to think of any good excuse to shirk it.
"Nephew Jiang Mianxian, your body is injured, although it is said that the young man is in good health and can bear it. But I had a love affair with your father in the past to fight against Hu Qi on a bloody battlefield, so how can I be indifferent to you? ”
Zimmer's face, which looked very haggard because of overwork, showed a very sincere expression. In fact, a large part of this is from his heart. But what he said next made Chu Jiangmian feel a little secretly slandered in his heart.
"Besides, letting you live in the mansion is not only to recuperate from your injuries, but also to let the white deer have a good adaptation environment. When you can get acquainted with the breeding officials sent by the royal family, you can bring it back to the Sheji Altar, and you won't have to worry about the little princess Xue'er. Hehe! ”
Hearing him say this, Chu Jiangmian was naturally very clear in his heart. The following passage is probably his main purpose.
It's also strange to say that since he walked out of Zhongyue Mountain, the white little deer cub has been snuggling in Jiang Xue'er's arms and refuses to leave. Even if he returned to Los Angeles and got Zimmer's order to rush to the royal special breeding officer, there was no way to take it away. As soon as a stranger approached, it screamed. And also don't eat anything.
That's going to be hard. It has been determined that this white deer cub is related to Ji Mo, one of the sacred relics of the Zhou Dynasty's Sheji, lest it be hurt again. I had to beg Chu Jiangmian's brothers and sisters to live in the mansion together. This matter is very important, and he does not dare to neglect it at all.
Chu Jiangmian's injury is actually not a big deal. The speed of recovery not only surprised Lao Ji and them, but even he himself felt a little incredible.
That day, he was stabbed by Nie Wushuang's sword, and it was the first time in his short life that he was so close to death. On that cold and rainy night, he once saw the shadow of the ghostly envoy in a trance. But he survived eventually.
"Xiaoli, I really want to thank you and Qiancheng. If it weren't for your help...... Hehe! ”
It was early afternoon. The change of seasons in Los Angeles is obviously faster than that of Zhao to the north of the Great River. Now you can take off your thick clothes and just wear a spring shirt. Chu Jiangmian looked at the two women who were feeding the deer cubs not far away, and seemed to remember a lot of things that happened that night. After a moment of stunnedness, he smiled and thanked the boy behind him again.
The young man named Murong Licheng has rarely spoken since he followed him to Los Angeles. He was originally a man of few words. In this unfamiliar place, he only has Sister A and Brother Mian in his eyes. No one else had anything to do with him.
"Brother Mian, I don't want to hear you say such things again...... Sister doesn't like to hear it either. ”
Teenagers don't know how to express their emotions tactfully. In his cognition, he can talk to the person in front of him without beating around the bush, and say whatever comes to mind.
Chu Jiangmian smiled faintly and patted him on the shoulder. I don't know what kind of fate it is, from the first time he saw this young man, he felt that he had an inexplicable sense of intimacy.
"What about the saving grace...... Xiaoli, I hope that no matter what time it comes in the future, we can maintain the current friendship. ”
Xiaoli nodded heavily. Ever since the destruction of his huge family in blood and fire, he hadn't trusted anyone again. And now, he pinned all his trust on the person in front of him who had not known him for a long time.
"Brother Jiang Mian, the method you think really works! These foods, it really likes to eat. ”
Jiang Xue'er ran over happily. He had a few tender green leaves in his hand, and a small clay bowl containing a viscous liquid-like substance. Earlier, the deer cub, who had just left its mother, refused to eat, which made her very worried. Or my brother has a way, and after a simple adjustment, the little deer cub eats happily.
Chu Jiangmian looked at her with excitement on her face, and her eyes were full of doting. Such a trivial matter naturally can't be difficult for him. Zimmer doesn't lack anything in his house, and there are a few reindeer in the back garden. Go get a little milk and make cheese. It is guaranteed to be the best food for small animals.
"But how do you take it with you...... Brother Jiang Mian, you have to find a way quickly! ”
Jiang Xue'er was still not at ease after all. Although Chu Jiangmian had already made a guarantee to her, thinking of Ji Mo's resolute attitude, she couldn't help but hold the white velvet deer cub tightly in her arms, as if someone would snatch it away in the next moment.
"Don't worry. When we leave L.A., it'll be with you. ”
"When are we leaving? I want to go home. ”
"It should be a few more days, I have to celebrate the birthday of the Son of Heaven before leaving, otherwise why are we here? Hehe! ”
"How long is it going to take? Brother Jiang Mian, then you must not promise them anything about this fawn! ”
"Don't Cher believe what I say? As long as you like something in this world, it is yours. There was no way for anyone to go back. This little white deer will soon appear in the garden of Jinxiang Palace, and it is the exclusive pet of our princess Cher. Ha ha! ”
The girl who was assured by her brother again finally put her mind at ease. She hurriedly took the things in her hand again, and continued to feed her "baby" with joy. It's just that Chu Jiangmian's doting eyes haven't dissipated yet. I heard someone in my ear say in a sarcastic tone.
"You're really spoiling her. In order to make her happy, he actually wanted to take the holy relics of the Zhou royal family as his own. And he said it so comfortably...... Hum! Sure enough, the rumors are true, and they are stubborn. ”
Chu Jiangmian didn't need to look back, he knew who was speaking. A smile crossed his lips. Since it is recognized by the other party as a gentleman, of course it should have the appearance of a gentleman.
"Girls, of course, should be spoiled. How? You also want ...... What do you want? Let's talk about it. Hehe! ”
Looking at his malicious gaze looking him up and down, Murong Qiancheng felt that the roots of his teeth were a little itchy. I don't know why, this guy who is so good to anyone around him, and his attitude towards himself always makes her feel a little frivolous and ridiculous. She regretted it very much now, why didn't she take the opportunity to make him suffer when he was seriously injured and unconscious that night?
"Who scarces your stuff? I don't have anything I want. Hum! Don't blame me for not reminding you...... If you can get out of here earlier, it's better to go quickly. ”
Qiancheng stomped his foot angrily. wanted to ignore him, but after all, he still spoke out his worries. She didn't believe that Chu Jiangmian, who had escaped death once, would be ignorant of the environment she was in. But looking at his lazy appearance, he didn't seem to realize those hidden dangers.
"I finally came to Los Angeles once, why are you in such a hurry? In such a prosperous place, even if the birthday congratulations of the Son of Heaven are over, I want to stay for a few more days. Qiancheng, let's go shopping together another day? ”
"You...... Unreasonable! Too lazy to pay attention to you. ”
Murong Qiancheng, who was angry and ashamed, turned his head and left. It's just that she didn't see it, she looked down at Chu Jiangmian who was holding the sword in her hand, and slowly restrained her smile.
"Brother Mian, sister, she means ......."
"I know. Some people don't stop there. ”
"That'...... Why don't we go early! As long as we want to go, no one can stop us. ”
"There's an account yet! Xiaoli, I will not leave Zhongzhou until the blood debt is paid off. ”
The spirit of the divine power boy was shocked, and he was about to say something more, but suddenly someone came to convey Zimmer's words.
"Duke Mo has an order, Chu Jiangmian, the prince of Zhao, will enter the palace immediately, and the Son of Heaven will summon him!"
